4 Claims.

The invention relates to shoes and it has for an object to provide a turned shoe which will preserve its shape under all conditions and. which may be resoled in a neat and workmanlike manner without impairing in any way the shape, size or Width of the shoe.

Another object of the invention is to provide a turned shoe having a strong and firm foundation.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a turned shoe having an inner and an outer sole.

The invention furthermore has as an object to provide a turned shoe having an inner and an outer sole with piping disposed around the edge of the inner sole.

A further object of the invention is to provide a turned shoe having an inner and an outer sole with piping having one side secured to the outer sole, the other side of the piping being secured to the inner sole and to the upper.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of the invention is described.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the views, of which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which the turned shoe is manufactured,

Figure 2 is a fragmentary sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to the view illustrated in Figure 2, but illustrating the position of the parts after the upper has been turned into its normal position where it extends upwardly from the inner sole,

Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating the manner in which the upper, together with the piping, is sewed to the inner'sole,

Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating a modified form of the invention, and

Figure 6 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating another modified form of the invention.

By referring to the drawing it will be seen that the shoe is provided with an inner sole 10 and an outer sole 11, the inner sole 10 having its outer upper edge cut away to form a flange 12. A piping 13 is disposed around the edge of the flange 12 and this piping 13 has a side 14 disposed between the flange 12 and the outer sole 11, the side 14 of the piping and the outer sole 11 being secured together by stitches 15. The other side 16 of the piping 13 is disposed against the upper surface of the flange 12 and this side 16 of the piping 13 is disposed between the inner sole 10 and the edge 17 1932, Serial No. 636,564

of the upper 18. The inner sole 10, the side 16 of the piping 13 and the edge 1'7 of the upper 18 are secured together by stitches 19 which extend from a channel 20 in the inner sole 10, through a portion of the inner sole, through the side 16 of the piping 13 and through the edge 17 of the upper 18. In this manner the flange 12 of the inner sole 10 is enclosed at its edge by the piping 13, which gives a finish to the shoe, the shoe having all the advantages of a turned shoe without the disadvantages, since, as will be understood, it is always possible to remove or replace the outer sole 11. When the shoe is resoled by the replacement of the outer sole 11, the shoe will preserve its shape, size and appearance, because the inner sole will not be cut or damaged in any way, the said inner sole serving to preserve the shape of the shoe.

It will be understood that the inner sole 10 may have a central surface cut away to give the shoe greater flexibility, it being advisable to thin the upper surface of the inner sole to obtain this flexibility after the inner and outer soles have been sewed together. It will also be understood that the piping 13 at the upper side of the flange 12 may be stamped or stitched as may be desired for decorative purposes.

In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figure 5, the piping 13 is disposed around the edge of the flange 12 with one side 14 of the piping 13 disposed between the flange 12 and the outer sole 11 and the other side 16 of the piping 13 disposed against the top of the flange 12. Stitches 21 are then used to sew the outer sole to the side 14 of the piping 13, the flange 12 and the other side 16 of the piping. In this construction the upper is sewed to the inner sole 10 in the customary manner, with stitches passing from the channel 26 through a portion of the inner sole 10 and through the upper in the manner which has been explained with reference to the construction illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the drawing.

In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figure 6, the flange 12 of the inner sole is sewed to the outer sole by means of stitches 22 and in this construction the piping is not used, the sides 17 of the upper 18 being sewed to the inner sole 10 by means of stitches 23 which pass from the channel 20 through a portion of the inner sole 10 and through the sides 17 of the upper 18.

What is claimed is:

1. In a turned shoe, an inner sole, an outer sole, an upper, and a piping sewed at one side to the outer sole, the piping at its other side being sewed to the inner sole and to the upper.

2. In a turned shoe, an inner sole, an outer sole, an upper, and a piping disposed at one side between the inner and the outer soles and being sewed to the inner and outer soles, the other side of the piping being sewed to the inner sole and to the upper.

3. In a turned shoe, an inner sole having the upper portion of its outer edge cut away to form a flange, an outer sole, 2. piping disposed around the flange with one side disposed against the upper surface of the flange and the other side disposed between the fiange and the outer sole, the piping being secured to the flange and to the outer sole, and an upper secured to the inner sole.

4. In a turned shoe, an inner sole, an outer sole, a piping disposed around the edge of the inner sole with one side disposed against the upper surface of the inner sole and the other side disposed between the inner sole and the outer sole, the piping being secured to theinner and outer soles, andan upper secured to the inner sole.
